Alright. Along with rebuilding my General grinder, it needs new tool rests. I could buy some, but that would be too easy. I want to see what kind of ideas are kicking around out there, combine a few and see if we can come up with a perfect tool rest, or something close to perfect.
I suppose there are some basic criteria that need to be met: machined tool surface, adjustable angle, ease of use.
But there's some open areas: mounted to the grinder or the table? specific width? And I'm sure there's other ideas.
Here's a picture of the grinder housing that I'm building. It has lugs for the guides. The original guide was not adjustable for angle. I'll be able to do all the machine work required, looks like simple mill/lathe operations.
